I graduated from North Dakota State University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in exercise science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hobbies:<\/strong> I enjoy running, cooking, listening to live music and watching football and basketball with my friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you do to stay balanced?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;I try to be as efficient as possible while working and studying. This allows me to spend more time doing other things I enjoy! Also, I make sure to stay connected with my friends and family who are not involved in medicine, even if this means sacrificing a little study time. Their added perspective often keeps me focused on the most important things in life and prevents me from getting \u201ctoo high\u201d or \u201ctoo low\u201d while navigating the ups and downs of medical school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three&nbsp;things&nbsp;people may not know about me<\/strong>:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As a linebacker on the North Dakota State football team, I was a part of multiple NCAA D-I FCS National Championships.

However, last year, my wife finally convinced me to adopt a kitten from the humane society.
